Hi Folks, Seeking some guidance here. My regexp knowledge is pathetic. I want to do a simple validation of an ipv6 address. I just want to validate the entire string (not specific blocks) if it has the allowed charachters. I though ereg('[A-Fa-f0-9:]') would work, but it isn't. Anyone can help me with this? IPv6 addresses are just Hex with : characters, so I just need to validate that for the entire string. Thanks for your time. -------------- Adam Alkins http://www.rasadam.com --------------
